hey, everyone has their own opinion. this truck is awesome, and it will pull 13.8 on the dragstrip on 38.5" mudders. yeah, its only 2wd but that helps with eliminating friction of a front axle and driveline. let the haters hate, i like my truck

13's on 38's that pretty impressive. Like said before search for the thread about the titan with the 5.9. The guy did a really sweet job on it.

It ran a 13.8 on 38's with nothing more than a bullydog and 2* timing advance? That's crazy. What was your 60'? How did you launch it? Time slip?

A 4bt would be cool, but I'd go for the 5.9 myself.

Oh, it's just a g-tech type thing, not a real drag strip?

Nice truck, but those numbers sure do sound kinda low for a mildly modified truck!

I don't trust those "performance meters." If you want to brag about 1/4 mile times, you better have an actual time slip from a track to back up your numbers. I highly doubt those are accurate times based on your very mild mods and 38's.

With that out of the way, hey it's your truck. You spend your money on it, and if you like it, then mission accomplished whether other people like it or not.
